This winter, one of the world’s most successful immersive experiences, Bubble Planet, makes its Manchester debut.
Following acclaimed runs in more than ten global cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Milan and London, Bubble Planet Experience will open at Depot Mayfield in February, ahead of the half-term.
Bubble Planet finds a fitting home at Depot Mayfield – a former railway depot transformed into a vibrant hub for arts, entertainment, and large-scale experiences.
Co-produced by family entertainment producer Exhibition Hub and Fever, the leading platform for discovering live entertainment and cultural experiences, Bubble Planet invites visitors to step into a joyful, dreamlike world where bubbles take centre stage. Enjoyed by over four million visitors worldwide, including one million+ during its London residency, and shared more than 1,000 times on Instagram, the experience was designed to “awaken curiosity and reconnect audiences with a sense of childlike wonder, unfolding across a series of visually striking, multi-sensory environments.”

As visitors journey through the experience, they are immersed in a bubbly universe where colours, lights, textures and illusions blend seamlessly. From giant balloons to floating soap bubbles, each space offers a new perspective, encouraging exploration and playful discovery. Carefully designed to engage all the senses, Bubble Planet transforms imagination into a tangible, interactive adventure.
Ten themed rooms guide guests through surreal landscapes that blur the boundaries between dream and reality. Highlights include the Bubble Ocean, a vast expanse of bubbles designed to evoke calm and serenity, and the Infinity Room, where mirrors and shifting lights create the illusion of endless space. Underwater Bubbles transports visitors into a hypnotic aquatic world, recreating the magic of deep-sea exploration.
Younger visitors can unleash their creativity in the Bubble Dome, a play area designed for hands-on fun, whilst tech fans can embark on an exhilarating virtual reality journey that adds an extra layer of adventure to the experience.
Beyond the bubbles light displays, interactive installations and unexpected textures work together to create an extraordinary shared experience.
“We are delighted to be bringing Bubble Planet to Manchester for the very first time alongside the team at Fever, and to be part of a city with such a strong and celebrated cultural identity. We look forward to welcoming everyone to experience a joyful, immersive adventure that sparks curiosity and wonder for all ages,” says Hamza El Azhar, CEO of Exhibition Hub.
